How do you build a portfolio when you don't own the intellectual property rights? What questions should you ask an attorney before working together? What do you really need to know—legally speaking—about starting and running a business? I'm thrilled to have David Adler in today's episode, part of our Creating a Design Business Series, for this conversation about legalities. No matter if you want to start a business or grow your design firm, there are things you need to do to protect yourself legally. It's impossible to keep up with the changing legal landscape while running a successful firm, so getting an attorney involved early in your business more than pays for itself. Stick around for a great conversation and take note of the big legal issues on the horizon in our industry.

In this episode, you will:

  1. Learn how an intellectual property attorney can help you legally protect your design business.
  2. Discover what questions to ask an IP attorney as you begin or want to grow your design firm.
  3. Uncover how to find the best attorney who understands your needs as a designer.
